When car is stopped, turn off key, open door then I hear a loud BUZZ. Only lasts a second or so. But believe it has to do with the POWER LOCKS. I see many complaints online like this

The Contact owns a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that the passenger’s side rear door failed to unlatch while using the key fob. Additionally, the contact was unable to unlatch the door manually from the inside or the outside. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was not available.

Driver side sliding door stuck in lock position. Will not open manually or with fob. Can not open door lock from inside. There were no signs this issue was going to happen. One day it works, next day it doesn’t. From what I’ve seen, this is an on going problem which needs to be addressed. This can be a huge safety problem in a accident.

Drivers side rear sliding door will not open. Completely stuck shut and will not unlock manually or electronically. My child was stuck inside until I could open the other door.

Both sliding door locks on my Dodge Caravan are not working. The driver’s sliding door will not lock with the key fob or with the button inside the car. On the passanger’s sliding door side, the door is stuck in the unlocked position. The key fob or the button inside the car will not unlock it. Also, it I manually lock the drivers side sliding door, it will not unlock with the key fob or inside button. This is dangerous Bc I’m driving around in an unlocked car. Also I’m leaving my car unlocked. I have 4 young children. I have seen many, many complaints of this online. It is a common issue with the 2017 Dodge Caravan. I have called Dodge and they did not deny that they knew about this. I got a quote from the dodge dealership. The lock actuators need to be replaced. I have the quote and it’s $1,800 to fix. This should be recalled!

The vehicle passage side sliding door will not open. I called the dealer and they said about $3000 dollars to repair the problem with the door. If there is a accident it will slow for the person the passage side to get out of the vehicle. Before the warranty ran out I had the car in the shop twice about the door slowly opening.

Passenger side sliding door actuator stopped working and is stuck in the locked position preventing opening of the door from the outside or inside or with the key fob. Door will not open at all which is a huge safety risk in case of emergencies and someone needs to get inside or out of the vehicle quickly. No inspection has been done except by me though I have seen hundreds of others complaining of the same issue with this make and model. No warnings or messages for this either. This needs to be a recall fix for obvious safety reasons.

Rear driver's side sliding door will not open. It is stuck in the locked position. Research shows this is a common problem with the 2017 and other years of Dodge Grand Caravan. This is a safety issue for anyone sitting in that rear passenger seat, as that door will not open from the inside. In the event of an accident blocking the rear passenger side door, anyone in the rear would have to climb up to the front to exit. There is no check engine light. I have not yet taken it to a dealer, because it is not warranty work and I cannot afford to have it fixed.
